Welcome to the Music Portal! Portals serve as an introduction to different sections of Bulbapedia. This portal is an introduction to the music section as well as its project. 2.B.A. Master CD cover art Music is an important part of the anime and games; among the most recognizable songs related to Pokémon are the opening (English, Japanese) and closing themes. There are many contributors to the music of the Pokémon world; both Americans and Japanese musicians contribute to the sounds of the anime and the games. In addition, a handful of other musical groups have lent their talents to the Pokémon franchise. In addition to the people behind the music of the franchise, there are the songs they have recorded and the CDs those songs can be found on. Songs in the franchise span from tracks on the movie soundtracks to opening and closing themes in both English and Japanese. And if there's a particular song you like that's in Japanese, you can find the translation to the lyrics on almost all of our song pages, like this one. There's plenty to see in the music category, and plenty of articles that could be expanded. More ways you can help with Project Music can be found in the "Getting Involved" box to the right.

The opening animation uses footage from the first Japanese opening, Aim to Be a Pokémon Master. It was written and produced by John Loeffler. The lead vocals were sung by Jason Paige in English, and Jana Bianchi in the Brazilian dub. A full version of the song is the first track on the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master audio CD, and includes a second verse not usually heard in the show.
